The Tactile Turn Groove is a nod to the analog charm of vinyl records in a world that’s gone digital. Built on the Side Click platform we know and love from Tactile Turn, the latest seasonal titanium pen features a glossy Cerakote finish with “track gap” detailing, mirroring the grooves of a record. A bi-tone lasered clip and blue, yellow, and burnt orange accents add a retro feel, while the Limited Production (LP) edition offers a unique lava-lamp anodized splatter pattern. It comes in three lengths: Standard, Short, and Mini, and is compatible with popular refills like the Pilot G2 and Schmidt easyFLOW 9000. We’ve always enjoyed Tactile Turn’s limited edition concepts, and the Groove’s visually distinct appreciation of old-school cool is just another reason why. The LP edition didn’t last long and is sold out at the time of this writing, but you can still grab the standard version which will be available until March 31, 2025.

Tactile Turn’s Seasonal Releases are something of a spectacle in the EDC pen community, but they’ve certainly outdone themselves with this 16th release: the Tactile Turn Buccaneer. Inspired by the golden age of piracy, this bold titanium bolt-action pen just hits differently. I mean, who doesn’t have a soft spot for pirate-themed anything? I know I do (blame Captain Jack Sparrow). The Tactile Turn Buccaneer is all about the details—a meticulously applied Cerakote finish gives it the look of weathered wood, complete with red accents along the bolt channel that pops like a ship’s sail.

A 24k gold-plated bolt adds treasure-worthy flair, while the laser-engraved deep-carry clip, designed to resemble an old treasure map, and a Jolly Roger finial complete its adventurous vibe. But it’s not just about looks—crafted from Grade 5 titanium, the Buccaneer is built to last and comes in Standard, Short, and Mini lengths for versatile compatibility with Pilot G2 or Schmidt easyFLOW refills. As always, Tactile Turn includes thoughtful extras like themed packaging and tattoos to seal the deal. Tactile Turn has me sold on this piece, and if you’re a fan of quality design and impeccable craftsmanship with a dash of creative flair, you’ll want to grab this one while it lasts until the end of the year.

Every EDC pen enthusiast probably has one Tactile Turn pen (or more) in their collection, and it’s no surprise since they make some of the best precision-machined and highly functional metal pens in the EDC space. They continue to impress us with their newest addition, the Switch Pen. Inspired by the Magnus ClickShift V1, this iteration by Tactile Turn has been rebuilt for improved action and usability, featuring a fidget-friendly, three-piece, all-metal mechanism controlled by a C63000 bronze actuator switch for smooth action and a very satisfying click. Think bedroom light switch, only so much more satisfying.

The Switch pen also sports Tactile Turn’s signature slim, textured grade 5 titanium body for optimal tactile grip, a milled pocket clip with optional custom engraving for a personalized touch, and compatibility with popular ink refills, including the Schmidt easyFLOW 9000, offering the perfect blend of durability and performance. The Switch Pen boasts the same level of refined craftsmanship we love and have come to expect from Tactile Turn. A fresh batch has been restocked at the time of this writing so be sure to grab one before it sells out.

Pen Name	SOUL BUILT MARKSMITH ULTRAFINE Ti
Materials	Grade 5 titanium
Length	5.4″
Weight	1.49 oz
Refill	Sharpie Ultra Fine, Parker ISO G2
MSRP	$79+

Building on the massive success of the original MARKSMITH, the world’s first retractable permanent marker, SOUL BUILT has launched the MARKSMITH ULTRAFINE Ti, refining everything that made the first iteration a standout with the transition to an ultra-fine 0.85mm titanium-coated Sharpie tip. This new refill brings a new level of precision to the marker pen, allowing you to create finer lines and sharper edges, which is ideal for intricate tasks where regular markers fall short. Slightly more compact at 5.4″ inches”—about 94% the size of the original and 0.25 ounces lighter—the ULTRAFINE Ti maintains the robust titanium build and expert craftsmanship as the original, with a near-seamless construction and brushed titanium finish that makes it look and feel like it’s precision-machined from a single piece of metal. The one-handed, fidget-friendly bolt-action mechanism remains a standout feature in this model, allowing for easy retraction and deployment, with a clever play in the pocket clip that prevents accidental extension, keeping the tip secure and preventing it from drying out.

Further enhancing its appeal, the MARKSMITH ULTRAFINE Ti is compatible with Sharpie permanent marker cartridges and Parker-style ISO G2 refills, allowing you to switch up colors for your creative projects easily. Plus, you can also personalize your marker with custom engraving options on the pocket clip. We’re all for innovative designs that enhance performance and functionality, and the MARKSMITH ULTRAFINE Ti embodies this perfectly. The Kickstarter campaign is set to run for a little under a month after already crushing its initial goal, so there’s plenty of time to pledge if you want to be one of the first few to get your hands on this unique and ultra-premium piece.
